[QUOTE="Pete X, post: 167816, member: 5563"] I don't have particular dates for most of the bikes they owned unless I see something on the photos I'm sorting. Working with the dates I do know : They were born early 1930's so will have started riding by the late 1940's The bike history started with Matchless & Norton ( until very late 1940's / early 1950s?) Then onto Vincent, They would have had the single (and started racing)? before they moved onto the twins. I recognise the house & gardens in some of the photos from the early 1960s. They had the racing outfit while they were there but if the road bikes were there it was only for the first couple of years. So their road Vincents covered the dates early 1950's to the early 1960's It's all guesswork ( and judging by the size of the prints over the years) but I'd say : Singles from early 1950's to mid/late 1950's Twins from mid/late 1950's to early 1960s. Racing outfits from early/mid 1950's to early 1970's Hope that helps, if it jogs anyone's memory about other photos they've seen in the past - let me know. Thanks for the interest [/QUOTE]
